Today is Faith, Culture, and Diversity Day—a special time for us all to celebrate what makes each of us unique and wonderful. This year, we are also celebrating the Year of Hope, which reminds us to look forward with positivity, kindness, and trust in God’s love.
Faith teaches us to be caring and forgiving, just as Jesus showed us. Culture is about the music, food, languages, and traditions that make our families and communities special. Diversity means that we are all different, and that’s what makes our world interesting and exciting!
By celebrating together, we show that everyone belongs and that we can learn so much from each other. The Year of Hope encourages us to support one another, share our dreams, and believe that good things are possible when we work together.
Let’s use this day to listen, share, and make new friends—remembering to treat everyone with fairness, generosity, and respect. Together, let’s spread hope throughout our school and beyond!
We will all come together for assembly in the Cloisters at 9a.m.
Happy Faith, Culture, Diversity, and Year of Hope Day!
Red Wednesday & Early Break (Wednesday 19 November 2025)
What is Red Wednesday?
Imagine a day when people all over the world wear the same color to send a message of love and support to others who need it. That day is Red Wednesday.
Why Red? Red is a bright, strong color. On this day, the color red is used to remind everyone of the blood shed by people who were brave enough to stand up for what they believed in, even when it was dangerous.
What is the problem? In many places around the world, some people can't go to church, pray, or even talk about their faith with their friends and family without getting into trouble. Sometimes, they lose their homes, their things, or even their family members.
What's the message? The main message of Red Wednesday is to "Break the Silence" and let those who are suffering know that they are not forgotten.
For Red Wednesday you are allowed to wear an item of red with your school uniform. We will be having a whole school Mass led by More. There will be early break for KS2. Break will start at 10.30a.m and finish at 10.50a.m. Mass will start promptly at 11.00a.m. Posted on Mon 17th Nov 25 by Mrs Nwaka
